Ride Benchwarmer

No, this board is designed for intermediate to advanced riders. Its stiff flex and aggressive camber profile require precise input and strong technique, which can be unforgiving for those still learning the basics.

The true twin shape means the board is perfectly symmetrical from tip to tail, allowing you to ride switch just as easily as your natural stance. This makes it an ideal choice for park riders who spend a lot of time spinning, landing switch, or hitting rails.

While the Benchwarmer is optimized for park performance, its stiff flex and responsive construction make it capable of handling the entire mountain. It offers excellent stability and edge hold, though it may feel less playful in deep powder compared to a dedicated freeride board.

Carbon Array 5 uses carbon stringers placed in the binding zone to channel energy from your boots to the contact points of the board. This results in more explosive pop and faster response when initiating turns or popping off jumps.

The Benchwarmer features a Sintered 4000 base, which is a high-density, high-speed material that is significantly more durable and wax-absorbent than extruded bases. It is built to withstand the abuse of park features while maintaining consistent speed.

Ride's Slimewalls are urethane sidewalls that act as a shock absorber. They provide a smoother, more dampened feel when landing jumps or riding through choppy snow, reducing chatter and increasing overall durability.
